Editing in Wikipedia

I decided to create a wikipedia account. I added to small paragraphs to the plot summary of ” Lazarillo de Tormes”.  I thought that it would be helpful for new readers.

This is how it looked before

I edited in the article on October 4 at 22:52.

Today, October 5 I spent the whole morning checking the article to see if somebody did a change to my own work.  At 3:52 pm I saw that a user just deleted my work and left it the way it was before.  When I checked view history, I saw that he changed it because he thinks that what I wrote is my  personal point of view. Honestly, I got mad when I saw how my work was deleted, but this is wikipedia anyone can edit or delete in an article.

Honestly, this is something I would have never tried before if it was not for an assignment. I am glad that we were assigned this adventure because I really liked the experience even when I got mad that my work was deleted. I think that I will keep editing to the same article for now because I love the novel. Hopefully, I do it better next time and my work just got a few changes.
